Up until this point, we configured Blackboard with 1 of the 2 Copyleaks tools, the Teacher-Scan tool.

To configure the second tool, the Assignment tool, you'll need to repeat steps starting from Step 9 and make small changes in Steps 16 and 17.

• On Step 16, we need to Allow student access in the Type section of this tool 
• On Step 17, change the Target Link URI to https://lti.copyleaks.com/api/lti/1.3/assignment/add

Other than these changes all other setup steps remain the same.
